Parenting can be such an overwhelming job that it's easy to lose
track of where you stand on some of the more controversial subjects
at the playground (What if my kid likes to rough house--isn't this
ok as long as no one gets hurt? And what "if "my kid just doesn't
feel like sharing?). In this inspiring and enlightening book,
Heather Shumaker describes her quest to nail down "the rules" to
raising smart, sensitive, and self-sufficient kids. Drawing on her
own experiences as the mother of two small children, as well as on
the work of child psychologists, pediatricians, educators and so
on, in this book Shumaker gets to the heart of the matter on a host
of important questions. Hint: many of the rules aren't what you
think they are The "rules" in this book focus on the toddler and
preschool years--an important time for laying the foundation for
competent and compassionate older kids and then adults. Here are a
few of the rules: It's OK if it's not hurting people or
propertyBombs, guns and bad guys allowed.Boys can wear
tutus.Pictures don't have to be pretty.Paint off the paper Sex ed
starts in preschoolKids don't have to say "Sorry."Love your kid's
lies."IT'S OK NOT TO SHARE" is an essential resource for any parent
hoping to avoid PLAYDATEGATE (i.e. your child's behavior in a
social interaction with another child clearly doesn't meet with
another parent's approval)
